  1. i got creative b/c i'm working with leftovers, but this was good! left out mushrooms & onion - subbed chix broth for milk and 1c sharp white cheddar/1c sharp cheddar & honeybaked ham for the ham. yum yum yum. thanks so much for providing a workable recipe that tastes great. will try again per your direx exactly!
     
  2. This recipe is a keeper! I made this as directed, except I used broccoli in place of Asparagus. The flavors all came together, the smokey flavor of the ham mixed with the sour cream and the Italian cheese coating the noodles, yummy! Oh, I did top with Ritz cracker crumbs instead of chips. Whole family loved this and it didn't last long, they gobbled it up. Now that I know how good this is, I will be making it quite often.
     
  3. Very good! Very easy to get together. My family enjoyed this very much.
     
  4. This was a very good casserole. The flavors matched well and I enjoyed the asparagus. I did find it a little cheesier than I prefer, but husband liked the extra cheese. All in all a good recipe. Made for ZWT4
     
  5. YUM! What a delicious casserole. I had everything on hand except for the potato chips, so I used crushed Ritz crackers on top instead. Thank you for posting.

  3. YUMMMMMMMM!!!!! that's all i have to say. Do NOT skip out on using the italian cheese blend- it really kicked up the flavor and so yummy. I don't like ham so I used chicken. also low fat sour cream, water instead of milk, just one bunch of asparagus- i love asparagus, 2 jars of mushrooms. Next time I think I'll use just 1 can of cream of mushroom- it was plenty creamy and I threw away the other 1/2 can of cr of mushroom because I don't use cream soups that much. I will also use 6 cups uncooked noodles- I made 4 cups and still didn't have enough noodles for my liking. THIS RECIPE ROCKS!!!! My hubby loved it too! Thanks Wildflour
